Sum of

Arithmetic
Sequence
What is the sum of the terms of
each given finite sequence?
1.1 ,4, 7,10
2.3,5,7,9,11
3.10,5,0 -5, -10,-15
4.81,64,47,30,13,-4
5.-2,-5,-8,-11,-14,-17
Find the indicated partial sum of each arithmetic
series.
1) The first 9 terms of 5 + 8 + 11 + ⋯
2) The first 30 terms of 1 + 3 + 5 + ⋯
3) The first 14 terms of 6 + 9 + 12 + ⋯
4) The first 25 terms of 5 + 8 + 11 + ⋯
5) THE FIRST 15 TERMS OF −12 + (−6) + 0 + ⋯
Solve for the value of 𝑛.
1) 𝑆𝑛 = −80, 𝑎1 = 10, 𝑎𝑛 = −26, 𝑛=?
2) 𝑆𝑛 = 50, 𝑎1 = 4, 𝑎𝑛 = 16, 𝑛=?
3) 𝑆𝑛 = −15, 𝑎1 = 12, 𝑑 = −3, 𝑛=?
4) 𝑆𝑛 = 180, 𝑎1 = 5, 𝑑 = 5, 𝑛=?
Process questions:
1.When to use the first formula?
2.What are the necessary known terms in
order that the second formula can be
applied?
Find the sum of an arithmetic sequence
using the given:
1.a1=5, an=33, n=8
2.a1=1, n=10, d=4
3.a1=-2, n=20, d =-3
FOLLOW UP
ACTIVITY:
Let the students create a
problems involving the sum of
arithmetic sequence.
